🔒 TL;DR — This extension runs entirely in your browser. It collects no personal data, makes no external network requests, and stores nothing on any server. Your privacy is completely preserved.
Table of Contents
1. Overview
This Privacy Policy describes how the Custom QR Code Generator Chrome extension ("the Extension", "we", "our") handles information when you use it.
The Extension is a browser tool that allows you to generate QR codes from the URL of the current browser tab or from contact information (vCard format). All processing occurs locally on your device — no data is ever transmitted to external servers.
2. Data We Collect
We collect absolutely no personal data.
Specifically, the Extension does not collect, store, or transmit:
- URLs or domain names of pages you visit
- Contact information you enter (name, phone, email, company)
- Images or logos you upload
- QR codes you generate
- Browser history or activity
- Device information or identifiers
- Usage analytics or telemetry
- Any other personally identifiable information
All data you interact with inside the Extension popup (URLs, vCard fields, color choices, logo files) exists only in your browser's memory during your session and is never persisted or transmitted anywhere.
3. Permissions Explained
The Extension requests only two browser permissions, both strictly necessary for its core functionality:
activeTab
Allows the Extension to read the URL of the currently active browser tab when you click the extension icon. This URL is used solely to pre-fill the QR code content field. It is accessed only when you actively open the extension popup and is never stored or transmitted.
clipboardWrite
Allows the Extension to write image data to your clipboard when you click the "Copy" button. This is a one-way operation — we write to the clipboard only when explicitly requested by you. We never read from your clipboard.
4. Third-Party Libraries
The Extension bundles a single open-source library:
- qr-code-styling — An open-source JavaScript library for generating styled QR codes. It runs entirely client-side within the Extension. It does not make network requests, collect data, or communicate with external services.
No analytics SDKs, advertising libraries, crash reporting tools, or any other third-party services are included or used.
5. Data Storage
The Extension does not use chrome.storage, localStorage, IndexedDB, cookies, or any other persistent storage mechanism.
Any input you provide (URLs, contact fields, color choices, uploaded logos) exists only in memory while the popup window is open. When you close the popup, all data is discarded.
6. Children's Privacy
This Extension is not directed at children under 13 years of age. Since we collect no personal data from anyone, there is no personal data from children to protect. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with information, please contact us — though we have no mechanism to receive or store such information in any case.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Since we do not collect your contact information, we cannot notify you of changes directly.
We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of the Extension after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
